( It seems to be certain that the Crown
Prince of Germany has no more than few
months TO live, and his father, the aged
Emperor, may be even nearer the end. III
is probable, therefore, that year from
now the throne of the greatest Of modern
military empires will be occupied by Prince
/ William, the present Emperor's grandson,
young man of y. 1t cannot but he re-
garded as a misfortune to Europe if, as now
seems certain, the succession TO the throne
shall skip the moderate and peace-lovlng
Crown Prince, to fall upon his son. The
latter is described rs entirely military in
his tastes, and fun of ambi-
ton that his reign shall rank
in the military history Of Germany
with that of his grandfather, by whose wars
against Denmark, Austria and France the
empire was founded and consolidated. For
years, under the control of the Emperor and
his great Minister, Bismarck Germany has
been looked upon as the conservator Of the
peace of Europe At all times ready for
war. confident of their military strength,
they have sincerely sought peace, and be-
ca, Sc of that readiness and strength have
found it, though surrounded by enemies. 1t
is true that in any event Bismarck would
probably remain in power, but that power
would steadily decline if his hands were not
upheld by his sovereign. And Bismarck Is
himself old-already beyond the age at
which most men retire from active life.
The relations of the different nations of
Europe are so strained that it would be easy
TO precipitate general war, which, under
present conditions, would irfict upon
humanity an amount and degree of suffer
ing terrible to contemplate. Following the
system inaugurated by Prussia, every con-
tinental nation Of Europe has become verita-
bly, an armed camp. Every man capable
of bearing arms is a soldier and almost every
city fortress. The first business of govern
ments is not to promote the progress of their
people in the ways of civilization, but to
keep in perfect readiness the means of de
Tending the nations existence.
For the third or fourth time in fifteen
years, during which there have been no
wars, Germany is with feverish haste re-
arming her troops with an improved rife.
Other nations have made as many changes,
and, almost regardless of national debts
mounting rapidly higher, in spite of ex-
haustive taxation, during a long period
of peace, all have constantly increased their
ornaments in every possible way, as though
in preparation for a life and death struggle.
The advent upon the scene of a powerful
young ruler, popular with the army and
ambitious of military glory, would be dis
tinct menace to peace. He would not be
apt to maintain toward France the calm.
though firm, attitude which has won for
Germany the admiration and confidence of
the world Though he would not invite
war, he might not shun it, and so excitable
and resentful are the enemies of Germany
across the Rhine, that cause of quarrel may
arise at any time.
Let us hope that the fears Of the Crown
Princes physicians are exaggerated. and
that his son viii gain wisdom from age be-
fore he is called upon to reign.

Henry Georges Explanation.

Several reasons have been given for the
small vote which Henry George received in
New York last Tuesday, and they are all
very different. Henry George himself says
that the result of the election, so far as he
was concerned, was one of those glorious de-
feats which make future victories possible.
His'way of looking at the rather humilia-
ting position in which he finds himself may
I've very satisfactory to him. but it is doubt
full if it is to the great ma ority Of those who
voted and worked for him He expected to
receive at least 200, 600 votes, and there were
times during the campaign when he pre-
tended to believe he would be elected.
He thinks he has got foothold, however,
and that the small following upon which he
can still depend will be sufficient to enable
him to capture the State in the very near
future. He firmly believes, he says. that il
he had received the vote that he had count
ed on the Democratic party would have
become the minority party not only in the
State of New York but in the entire coun
try. He believes that Patrick Ford. the
editor of the Irish World, by asserting that
vote for him was vote against the
Catholic church, Is mainly responsible fol
the sorry figure he cut at the polls.
Patrick Ford, however, says that tbs
main reason why Henry George wholly
| failed TO meet the expectation of his friends
is that DR.. McGlynn, bis partner, insisted
| that the Pope "should wear stove-pipt
hat" Mr.. Ford may not be wholly sincere
in what he says on this point, but it is Ger
tain that DR.. McGlynn was source OF
weakness rather than of strength to Henry
| George
The real reason for Henry Georges defeat
doubtless, is that the great majority of PEG
pie have no confidence in him, and do not
believe that he advocates his land theory
for any other purpose than to gain notoriety
and advance his personal interests

He Thought She Proposed to Him.


There is a great deal Of fun in every nook and
corner of Cornell's University just over an
incident which occurred here this week. At the
beginning Of every term an alphabetical list of
students is issued by the registrar giving tie
residence of each person enrolled in the uni
versity. Occasionally mistake is found in this
list. Several days ago one OF the Sage College
ladies, of progressing appearance, In look &
over proofs of this years list of students, de-
tected a slight error in her name, and fastened
to the registrars Office TO correct it.
Are you engaged just now?' was the first
question asked the registrar, who was in bliSstul
ignorance of the lady mission, and whose mind
evidently was wandering in matrimonial chan
neS.
NO indeed" replied the gallant official with
some little emphasis, his face at the same time
becoming the very embodiment of great expec-
tations and pleasant anticipations of the APP
preaching leap year.
We'll then, should like to change my name, -
said the fair visitor, with bewtching smile on
her face.
"Oh, you would" gasped the young man, his
countenance radiant beyond all expression.
And then the young lady undertook to explain
matters more in detail. much to the discomfii-
ure and modification of the assistant. whose
hopes blossomed, bloomed, and were blasted in
the short space of a minute.

From Chambers Journal.
Such a little thing-a letter,
Yet so mnch it may contain;
Written thoughts and mute expressions,
Full OF pleasure, fraught with pain.
When our hearts are sad at parting,
Comes CLEAN of comfort bright
In the mutual promise given:

Plans and doings of the absent
Scraps OF news we like to hear,
All remind us, cen though distant,
Kind remembrance keeps us near.
Yet sometimes q single letter
Turns the sunshine into shade;
Chils Our efforts, clouds our prospects.
Blights urhopes and makes them fade.
Messengers of Joy OF sorrow.
Life or death, success, despair,
Bearers of affections wishes.

Not our faces-will be read.

The Editor Got Left.
Eronl the Reno Gazette.

A well-known local dealer in vehicles was, at
one time, the publisher of weekly paper in the
western part of the State. One day while pom
dering how he was to keep the machinery of the
Office in running order, young lady entered his
sanctum and, in a winning way, said: "Mr
Editor. do you publish all you print" ''Yes, -
was the ready answer. We'll, said the vision
of loneliness, 81 guess wont let you do it. -

The New York demonstration in honor Of
the Anarchists was chiefly remarkable for
the bad English of the transparencies and
the unpronounceable names of most of the
men who made themselves conspicuous.
Messrs. Welke, Braunschwig, Torschmidt,
Rosengenig and Krauer acted as Marshals.
Some of the New York papers are in
dignant that the police permitted a parade
which was really protest against law and
order but perhaps the police were right. In
no other way could it be shown more
plainly that the crazy doctrines of anarchy
have taken no hold on Americans A revo
luton preached in German can never
amount to much in English-speaking
America.

Mr. Kane, whose death made the election
in the Albany, n. Y, Congressional district

Tracy, who was elected to succeed him, led
his opponent by $500 votes. What is most
significant about the matter is that the Re
publicans made their campaign against him

was raised. This looks as if the outspoken
New York platform were popular, and it

Alleged Eistorv Questioned.

Messrs. Hay and Nicolay, who are the
authors of the history of Abraham Lincoln
that is now being published in the Century
Noqdzine, do not seem TO have exerted
themselves so much to get at the exact truth
of things Of which they wrote as to produce
an entertaining story. 1t will hardly be de-
MED even by the admirers Of their history,
that they have given to it quite partisan
coloring. However, it is probable that their
history is about as free from bias and mis-
takes as histories generally are.
Ex-Postmaster General Horatio King, at
present a resident of Washington, D. c., in
an open letter, has called attention to one
thing which he thinks inexcusable. After
dwelling at some length upon the harsh
treatment that President Buchanan has re-
ceived IN the history, he says; After what
we have received we need not be surprised mt
any abuse Of President Buchanan, no matter
how outrageous, ia forthcoming install
ments of this history, but in the name of
common decency, we may be allowed 10
hope that the height Of effrontery has been
reached by introducing, as these veracious
compilers have done, the story of Gen.
Thomas L. Chngman, that Secretary Jacob
Thompson told hirn, about the midslle of
December, 1860, that he had been appointed
a commissioner by the State of Mississippi
to go down to North Carolina, and with
President Buchauan's approval to get that
State to secede. In a letter to Judge Black,
written in September, 1877, when this story
first came out, which letter was Immediately
published, Mr.. Thompson gave the story a
point blank denial, and branded it as an
invention, "a fiction, and as mere sound

The Waterbury-Hartford game yesterday ! was postponed on account of rain.
 It is now said that Umpire Begley has con- ! cluded not to resign. If so let him stay away l from New Haven and we shall try to bear up I under the afdiction.
 Keefe pitched winning game for the New Yorks yesterday, giving the Chicagos a total of only six hits, two of them being phan- toms. The New Yorks made total of sev- enteen off Baldwin, getting six phantoms. The Philadelphias, by winning yesterday s game, have taken three straight from the Detroits. Weidman was 8 picnic for the
 Phillies, Wood hitting the ball over the fence twice for home runs, and Fogarty
 getting another home run.
 Firth, who was recently reinstated by
 Danbury, refused to come to New Haven with the team yesterday because the fine of $25

 and played first base in splendid form.
 It is probable that Gruber will be sold to the New York league club. Manager Daniels

 fer, but the Hartford directors consider it too small, and sent Manager Daniels to New York in the hopes of raising the amount.
 The local management think that Gruber
 can be spared in the present condition of the Eastern league, and claim that Keefe and Stafford are the equals of any of the present pitchers. One of the Hartford directors short time ago said that Gruber was worth $2, 800, and that he would advise his sale at that price. Manager Daniels, however, said he was worth more, and that $3 ,000 could be realized without trouble.- Hartford Times. Judgment day will dawn before Gruber will be worth one-third of that amount to the New Works
